Abstract

The paper examines the history of the formation of the term “fake news”. The main problems that scientists faced when trying to explain this phenomenon are explored. Attempts are made to classify “fake news” based on the features inherent in this phenomenon. An attempt was also made to highlight the main features of “national” approaches to describing fakes (Russian, Chinese and Western approaches). Explanations are given why “national” schools developed in this way, and a brief description of each of them is given. With the help of an extensive historical description, an attempt is made to give our own definition of “political fake news”.
